How the GOP killed DC

[naturegirl]

Where in the Consitution is the Fillibuster Rule?

Do not believe I said it was in the Constitution

If you would like to investigate if it is Constitutional, here is a link PENNumbra—University of Pennsylvania Law Review

You can decide

.

Did the founders design the system so that the minority can hold the majority hosttage?

Yes, why yes they did!!

what the republicans are doing right now in congress was NOT intended by the founders

Yes it is, it's working exactly as they planned

when the democrats become the minority would you cheer and defend this if they did it?

Majority doesn't always rule in a Republic.

 

[The T]

No the Dem's are by passing way to many entailment programs. We are now at 119 trillion dollars in unfunded mandates. Then Obama and the Dem's keeps passing more.
This is what is killing our Government from within.

Yep..and BOTH parties are responsible for it as we are for allowing it.

DC has been in dire need of an enema for too long.

That is exactly why 87 new Repubs were voted in, to uphold the constitution.
Harry Reid calls them radicals
Then say's that is why he is not passing the House Bills, because radicals have taken over.
Ooo how dare the people vote in representatives who take the Constitution seriously.

Too bad out leftist brothers and sisters don't until it suits them or some pet cause...and even then interpretation is convoluted.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

when the democrats become the minority would you cheer and defend this if they did it?

Sure. They have the right to use established procedures.

By the way, it's really refreshing to see you admit that the Democrats will soon become the minority.

 

[The T]

Stimulus failed and healthcare costs continue to rise. Obama's agenda should be defeated, all it does it cost us money and freedom

You are the reason the GOP is going extinct like the dinosaur.

Hover allowed the banks to fail and brought on the great depression and FDR created your middle class status. It was democratic leadership that brought us victory in 2 world wars not GOP fascism.

You Neanderthal types should never be allowed out of the cave.

I'm sure Frank will be thrilled to know that HE is the sole reason...

*Idiot*

OMG

Do we want to start a list of all the things Obama and some Democrats have done that our Founding Fathers would not approve of?
The Mods would cut that list short like my last one, if I posted all the items, sorry no time for it atm anyway

They wrote a budget. They should have put a warning on it, since anyone having coffee or a coke would have blown it out their nose after reading it.

In 3.5 years, all they did was write a budget?

Wow. What a tremendous accomplishment.

Why don't you go blow John Boehnner, asswipe. I'm sure he'd appreciate your support.

Not really, in 3.5 years all the GOP gave was an insane pipe dream. I'd hardly call that an accomplishment.

Maybe that is because the Dems control the senate and the white house. Kinda hard for them to get anything accomplished with that scenario. They have passed many bills in the house and sent them to the senate only for Reid to shelf. If anything, it's the Dems who are not doing shit, and it's because they are a bunch of little crybabies who if they cant have it their way they dont want it any way.

Ooo how dare the people vote in representatives who take the Constitution seriously.

they do not represent the entire country.

why should THEY be allowed to subvert the constitution

It's not a dictatorship dumbass, that is why.

so you do think it was the founders intent to have the minority hold the majority hostage

She totally doesn't understand the constitution. Majority doesn't rule in a Republic. Just because we have more Dems than Republicans in the Senate doesn't mean they can ram through anything they want. The House has a Rebublican majority, the two make up Congress.

If you had any actual knowledge of what the Framers tried to accomplish, that wouldn't be such a big mysterious question in your pathetic universe.

OF COURSE the Framers tried to set things up so that there would be BIG impediments to any tyranny of any majority.

 

[grunt11b]

why is it the minority now controls what we do in congress

How many times do we have to explain Checks and Balances ?

.

Where in the Consitution is the Fillibuster Rule?

So you did not have a problem with it when the Dems used it, but now all of a sudden you do?

 

[grunt11b]

Is Obama responsible for falling gas prices??

He is as responsible for the falling gas prices as he was for the rising gas prices, no?

All those who claimed he was responsible for rise now automatically are credited with the claim that he is responsible for the falling prices.

Didn't Obama tell us months ago he couldn't do a thing about high gas prices?

He EVOLVED on the topic.

Its NOT being used the say way as it has been for its entire history

Yep...that started to erode when the 17th Amendment was added after the 16th...By design

No you fool this subverts elections

You subvert common sense and lack the topical knowledge of the subject matter in which you complain about.

No, it was the founders intention that there would be ways for the minority in our Republic to keep the majority from voting away their rights.

Like everything else...evolution depends upon topic, issue and the pressure to get re-elected.

Facts are not your friend

Remember the election in 2010? The GOP ran against Obama and did ok. We hope to pick up POTUS, the Senate and 1/3 more state houses in 2012

You meant to say that the Federal Reserve allowed banks to fail, right? FDR presided over an economy worse than the 7 Biblical Lean years and that's a tale that's been told for 5,000 years now
